“Z”, “E” or “Ã” appears as a small icon on

the left-hand side of the LCD monitor.

●

Depending on the camera mode, the transition from “Ã” to

“

V” may occur more quickly.

●

Due to the nature of the battery, the battery level indicator

(

E, Ã or V) may appear early when the camera is

used in cold locations. This is normal. Try warming the

battery in your pocket or a similar location before use.

“V” appears as a large icon in the center of the

LCD monitor.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

1Plug the connection cable into the AC power

adapter.

2Plug the AC power adapter into a power outlet.

h Compatible AC power adapters

●

Charging times increase at low temperatures.

●

If the self-timer lamp blinks during charging, a charging error

has occurred and the battery cannot be charged (➡P.105).

●

Turning the camera on during charging interrupts the

charging.

●

Use the BC-65 Battery Charger (sold separately) to charge

battery more quickly (➡P.99).

LitLitLit

◆

Charging the battery

◆

When you try to charge the battery immediately after the camera has been used continuously for a long

period (e.g. shooting a movie or connected to a PC), charging may not begin soon (the self-timer lamp

does not light).

This is not a camera fault, but is for protecting the battery from being charged while it is warm. Battery

may degrade when charged at high temperatures.

Leave the camera connected to the AC power adapter, and charging will automatically begin within 30

minutes.

When [CARD ERROR], [CARD NOT INITIALIZED], [CARD

FULL] or [NO CARD] appears, see P.103.

Hold the camera so that your fingers or the strap do

not cover the lens and flash. If the lens or flash is

obscured, subjects may be out of focus or the

brightness (exposure) of your shot may be incorrect.

●

Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty (getting fingerprints

on the lens etc.), clean the lens as informed on P.100.

●

If the flash is used in dusty conditions or when it is snowing,

short double-beep is heard, the camera focuses on

your subject. The AF frame on the LCD monitor

becomes smaller and the camera sets the shutter

speed and aperture. The indicator lamp (green)

changes from blinking to lit.

●

When a short double-beep is not heard and “{” appears on

the LCD monitor, the camera cannot focus.

Pressing the shutter button down halfway freezes the image

on the LCD monitor briefly. This image is not the recorded

image.

●

When “{” appears on the LCD monitor (the shooting

condition is too dark to focus on the subjects etc.), press

again the shutter button down halfway or try standing about

2 m (6.6 ft.) from your subject to take the picture.

Press the shutter button down fully. When a

clicking sound is heard, the camera records the

Subjects not suitable for autofocus

◆

FinePix V10 uses a high-precision autofocusing mechanism. However, it may have difficulty focusing

on the following:

h Very shiny subjects such as a mirror or car

body

h Subjects photographed through glass

h Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair

or fur

h Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or

flames

h Dark subjects

h Fast moving subjects

h Subjects with little or no contrast between the

subject and the background (such as white

walls or subjects dressed in the same color as

the background)

h Shots where another high-contrast object (not

the subject) is close to the AF frame and is

either closer or further away than your subject

(such as a shot of someone against a

background with strongly contrasting

elements)

For such subjects use AF/AE lock (➡P.24).

Before the flash fires, “∑” appears on the LCD monitor. When selecting a slow shutter speed that

will cause camera shake, “

|” appears on the LCD monitor. Use the flash to take pictures.

According to the scene or mode being shot, use a tripod.

■ Standard number of available frames per xD-Picture Card

The table below shows the standard number of available frames for a new xD-Picture Card formatted on the camera. The

larger the xD-Picture Card capacity, the bigger the difference between the actual number of frames and the number shown

here. Also, the size of an image file varies depending on the subject. So the number of remaining shots may decrease by 2

or may remain the same. For this reason, the number displayed may not show the actual number of frames.

Red-eye reduction

Use this mode to guarantee that the subject’s eyes appear

be taken without the flash.

◆

Red-eye effect

◆

When using the flash to take a picture of people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes

appear red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye.

Use Red-eye reduction flash to minimize the likelihood of this effect.

Take the following measures to make Red-eye reduction more effective:

h Get the subjects to look at the camera. h Get as close as possible to the subjects.

a window or in the shade of a tree, or to get the correct

colors when taking a picture under bright lighting. In this

mode, the flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.

Suppressed flash

Use this mode for taking pictures using indoor lighting, for

shots taken through glass, and for photography in places

such as theaters or at indoor sporting events where the

distance is too great for the flash to be effective. When you

use Suppressed flash, the selected white balance function

(➡P.47) operates so that natural colors are captured along

with the ambience of the available light.

●

Use a tripod to prevent camera shake when shooting in Suppressed

flash mode in the dark condition.

●

See P.103 for information on the camera shake warning.

Slow synchro
